Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 105 The Secret Realm of Wild Beasts
Suddenly, the Time Clone raised an eyebrow and entered the inner world.

At this moment, the activity of the main body devouring the nine-colored mist within the inner world had ceased.

The cultivation of the Innate Dao Body Diagram can be completed in five days.

After nearly a year and five months, and having absorbed a massive amount of nine-colored mist, the original body finally completed the cultivation of one hundred innate Dao body diagrams, achieving the ultimate hundredfold body (divine body) amplitude.

"Shh!"

The next moment, the Time Clone appeared in the inner world.

"Whoohoo-"

Immediately afterwards, endless nine-colored mist surged and gathered once again.

The immense energy flowed into his body, and the Time Avatar began to operate the 100th Innate Dao Body Diagram. The body's amplitude, which had originally reached 99 times, was now moving towards the 100-fold limit.

That's right, it's 99 times the body's amplitude.

The ability to create clones at specific times is an audacious affinity with the laws of time. If all one's energy were focused on the "Source of Time," the level of mastery of this secret technique would naturally be far greater than it is now.

The reason for this is that while the main body was cultivating the Innate Dao Body Diagram, the Time Avatar was also cultivating.

However, the Time Clone directly applies the original body's existing experience to cultivate the Innate Dao Body Diagram, making its cultivation efficiency much higher than that of the original body.

The time saved by efficiently cultivating the Innate Dao Body Diagram is the time that the Time Avatar can use to cultivate the "Source of Time".

'The body's amplitude is complete; next comes the soul's amplitude.'

Lu Jin thought to himself, and then his main body referred to the first innate Dao Soul diagram, devoured the nine-colored mist in his inner world, and began to cultivate the soul amplitude.

The Soul Secret Technique: The Clock of Time?
Although after crossing the threshold of the fundamental laws of time, I am already able to cultivate the 'Soul Bell' of the second level of the 'Clock of Time'.

But right now, since I'm not going out to fight, cultivating the 'Soul Bell' isn't urgent.

Once the soul amplitude is increased by a hundredfold, the efficiency of cultivating soul secret techniques will be far greater than it is now.

Just like the Spiritualist Flight Secret Technique in the second part of "The Origin of Time," it can be practiced after achieving a hundredfold increase in soul amplitude.

Three days later, the Time Avatar completed the 100th Innate Dao Body Diagram, achieving a hundredfold increase in body amplitude.

The World Ring, inside the castle.

"Fatty, search for suitable secret realms within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom that are suitable for ordinary Realm Lords to train in, the closer to Earth the better."

The time clone gave instructions to Fatty.

As an intelligent life form, Fatty can differentiate into countless forms, as long as there is a carrier such as an auxiliary optical brain or a crystal core.

"Yes, Master."

Fatty responded.

In the process of evolution, the vast majority of regions of the primordial universe evolved into stars, planets, and so on.

Galaxyes are the most common type of object in the universe.

However, due to certain special and unknown reasons, some unusual 'special regions' also emerged during the evolution of the primordial universe.

These special areas are known as 'Cosmic Secret Realms'.

Every cosmic secret realm is different, and the natural dangers, life forms, and coveted treasures within them almost challenge the imagination of ordinary people.

The size of cosmic secret realms varies greatly. Some are only comparable to a galaxy, while others are as large as a star region, which is the size of a cosmic kingdom.

The danger levels of the cosmic secret realms vary. Some realm lords can venture into them, while others would kill even cosmic venerables or cosmic masters.

The surge in strength has brought abundant confidence.

At this moment, Lu Jin felt that the Radiant Divine Sword in the hands of his Time Clone was already thirsting for more.

In addition, apart from occasionally bullying newbies and taking advantage of them, he hasn't had much real combat experience in recent years.

Real combat is undoubtedly the fastest way to improve one's skills.

Given that the Time Clone is fearless of death, even if it's not for exploiting others but simply to accumulate practical experience, it's still necessary to find a relatively safe secret realm in the universe to train in.

In fact, the extraterritorial battlefield, teeming with powerful individuals, is more suitable for exploiting weaknesses.

However, the extraterritorial battlefield is too far away. Even if we sign up to go to the extraterritorial battlefield now, it is still uncertain when we will be able to fight the alien races in real combat.

Furthermore, the current strength of the Time Clone is only equivalent to that of an ordinary Realm Lord, and the survival rate of such a level of strength is very low in the extraterrestrial battlefield.

He also couldn't possibly take the original core to the outer battlefield. If his clone died once, it would be very troublesome to go to the outer battlefield again.

Taking all factors into consideration, now is not the time to go out and fight in foreign battlefields.

However, the period after the Genius Battle ends, when one goes to the Chaos City of the Initial Universe to cultivate, is a suitable time for the Time Clone to go to the outer battlefield to kill monsters.

The true self and the clones are connected in consciousness. The original laws of the universe manifested in the primordial universe are seen by the true self, and the clones, who are in the outside world, can also see them.

Furthermore, due to the rapid flow of time in the initial universe, it is more advantageous for the Time Split to remain in the outside world.

Just like comprehending the Chaos Stele, both exist in the initial universe, with one opportunity to comprehend it. Both the main body and the clone each have seven days to comprehend it.

However, if the Time Clone is outside, it is also an opportunity. The original body's seven-day comprehension time remains unchanged, but the Time Clone's comprehension time can be increased to about 23 days.

Furthermore, after the Genius Battle concludes, the main body will no longer need to remain at the Stellar level and can break through to the Universe level, while the Time Clone will also be able to enter the Domain Lord level. At that time, even if the elements constituting strength, such as laws, secret techniques, and treasures, remain unchanged, the strength of the Time Clone will increase by more than two thousand times.

Soon, Fatty said, "Master, within the Cangyu Starfield, there is a cosmic secret realm called 'Wilderness Beast Secret Realm,' which is quite suitable for ordinary realm masters to train in. It is about 910 million light-years away from Earth."

The Wild Beast Realm is a small realm, with a diameter of approximately 13 light-years. Within the realm are six continents, one large and five small, each inhabited by a large number of wild beasts.

According to publicly available information from the Cangyu Empire, the last time an Immortal-level wild beast appeared in the Wild Beast Secret Realm was over seven hundred epochs ago, and it was slain by the Cangyu Empire's God Lord, the Immortal Cangyu.

'910 million light-years.'

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

If you were to travel through the dark universe aboard the Radiant Spaceship at 5.5 times the speed of light, it would take two months to reach the Wild Beast Realm, 910 million light-years away, which is quite far.

However, on the other hand, the universe is vast, and a distance of 910 million light-years is actually quite close.

After all, while there are many secret realms in the primordial universe, they are not everywhere.

"Alright, this Wild Beast Secret Realm will do."

Lu Jin nodded, finalizing the destination for the training trip.

That afternoon, the Time Clone boarded the Radiant Spaceship and left Earth, accelerating into the Dark Universe to head towards the Wild Beast Realm.

Time once again became involved in the main body cultivating the Innate Dao Soul Diagram and the Time Avatar cultivating the Origin of Time.

One advantage of practicing research-oriented secret techniques like "The Origin of Time" is that practicing this technique does not interfere with comprehending the laws.

With each breakthrough in cultivation techniques, one's understanding of the laws is slightly enhanced.

By cultivating "The Origin of Time" to the third level of mastery, one can master "Time Acceleration," one of the three profound mysteries of the laws of time.

Of course, to think that you can master 'time acceleration' simply by cultivating the 'Source of Time' is absolutely wishful thinking.

This secret technique may seem to have only three levels, but the second level, 'Myriad Transformations,' is far superior to the third level, 'Time Acceleration.' The difference between them is too great; they are not even in the same dimension.

Just like the "Myriad Streams" technique, countless geniuses and immortals have cultivated the "Myriad Streams" technique throughout the vast history of the human race.

However, only one in a billion can master spatial teleportation and achieve the pinnacle of immortality as a king.

Two months later, on April 25, 2068.

In the dark universe, a silver sword-shaped spaceship is traveling at 5.5 times the speed of light.

The spaceship control room, inside a medium-sized world ring.

"Master, we are about to arrive at the Wild Beast Secret Realm."

Fatty spoke to his avatar who was cultivating the "Source of Time".

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, his entire body enveloped in starlight battle armor, he used his supernatural ability, Thousand Transformations, to disguise himself as a first-level human martial artist of the World Lord realm, and paused his cultivation, leaving the World Ring.

"Fatty, apply to the Cangyu Empire's Secret Realm Management Office for the Dark Universe coordinates of the Central Continent of the Wild Beast Secret Realm."

Back in the spaceship's main control room, Lu Jin gave instructions to Fatty.

The Wild Beast Secret Realm is located within the Azure Feather Starfield, and contains six continents: one large and five small.

Based on the location of the six continents within the Wild Beast Secret Realm, the Azure Feather Empire officially named them the Northern, Northwestern, Northeastern, Southwestern, and Southeastern Continents.

And the central continent, located at the very center of the secret realm, which is the largest of the six continents in diameter, with a diameter of about 0.7 light-years.

Furthermore, it could be said that the Azure Feather God Lord was obsessed with money.

This guy is a Marquis-level Immortal on the spatial side, similar to that old man Huyanbo. He used spatial secret techniques to conceal the dark universe coordinates of the Wild Beast Secret Realm in order to sell 'secret realm tickets'.

It's not impossible not to pay the entrance fee; you can simply take a spaceship and fly there at sub-light speed.

However, it should be noted that the Wild Beast Secret Realm is approximately 13 light-years in diameter.

Although venturing into the secret realm does not require traversing the entire Wild Beast Secret Realm, the six continents within the secret realm, with the northern continent being the closest to the outside world, are still tens of thousands of light-years away.

A distance of tens of thousands of light-years, without traversing the dark universe, how long would it take for a trainee to reach that distance?

"Master, an application has been submitted. Do you wish to pay 100 billion cosmic coins to purchase the Dark Universe Coordinates?"

"That's what Fatty said."

The entrance fee to the secret realm wasn't too expensive; 100 billion cosmic coins was equivalent to the wealth of a domain lord, which wasn't much for a realm lord.

However, over time, the entrance fees collected by the Azure Feather Empire have become quite substantial.

Anyway, there's not much cost involved. All that's needed is for that Marquis-level Immortal Cangyu to set up a spatial secret technique, and then set up an administration office outside the Wild Beast Secret Realm to sell Dark Universe coordinates.

Lu Jin said, "Pay."

This account has nothing to do with the original body; it was created by the Time Clone after he disguised himself as the Human Realm Lord.

Even the deposits in the account were not transferred from the original owner's Cosmic Galaxy Bank account, but were proceeds from the sale of a fifth-tier top-grade Force weapon.

The moment after the payment for the secret realm ticket was completed, a complex dynamic dark universe coordinate appeared on the main control screen of the Radiant spaceship.
